This week we will continue to look at the text ‘Somebody crunched Colin’. The children will describe the characters in the story using adjectives. We will then focus on onomatopoeia and how we could describe our environments using sound words. Finally, we will look at our own journey Colin could go on and the different places he could visit. The children will draw out their own journey and will use onomatopoeia to describe the different environments. |

Please note this is a basic overview of the planning for this week. It is impossible to cover in this outline all the learning that takes place during a week! We also believe in listening to your children and responding to their interests and ideas therefore all our planning is flexible. Please note some of the learning will take place across more than one week and during some weeks the learning focus may not cover all curriculum areas.
